EDITORS COMMENTS
This Fashion Plate, created by renowned British publisher Rudolph Ackermann in 1828, showcases an elegant evening costume from the Regency era. The image, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a hand-colored engraving on paper that offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the 19th century. The woman in the plate wears an empire gown, characterized by its high waistline and full, voluminous skirt, which was a popular style during the Regency era. The gown's short sleeves, adorned with intricate lace details, are rolled up at the elbows, revealing a hint of forearm. A delicate shawl, draped over her shoulders, adds an air of sophistication and warmth to the ensemble. The gown's bodice features a medallion design, which is accentuated by the use of color and shading in the engraving. The woman's hair is styled in an elaborate updo, with curls cascading down her back and framing her face. The hairstyle, along with the fashionable hat perched atop her head, completes the look of this fashionable Regency lady. The Fashion Plate serves as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, as well as the importance of fashion as a means of self-expression and identity. The intricate details of the gown, the delicate shading of the engraving, and the vibrant colors all contribute to the timeless beauty of this historic piece.
